Anyone entering the writing competition

[Factabulous]

So - no posts at all on the Writing Competition thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php/389062-Elite-Dangerous-Writing-Contest-November-2017?

Hopefully that means that no-one else is thinking about it and I can win all the tasty decals despite my poor grasp of the literatures.[big grin]

I'm thinking about it, but I have so many ideas its hard to choose just one.

Since all submissions are made via EMail only...

Just hand in yours and think this story is in the top 1% of all Stories out there

 

[Aashenfox]

EMail only...

Greetings Commanders,

• We will only accept entries that are submitted through email
• You may cross-post your entry to this thread if you wish to share with the community

Though I must say, I haven't decided yet if I will post my entry on the thread or just send via email. I don't know how confident I feel about that. lol

I was thinking ultra short story, but then I read:

• Your submission must be between 1,000 - 2,000 words in length

And I usually lose interest around word 67.

 

[Cmdr Eagleboy]

Yeah, I am thinking about taking a bait there too. Just for my own personal growth and pleasure, not aiming to compete here.

Well, community can run SF short story / 140/280 symbol story contest.

Should dig up the one I wrote for English back in grade 8.

No. 1000 words, TLDR.

 

[Aashenfox]

No. 1000 words, TLDR.

And there I was thinking how the hell I'm gonna write something decent in so few words. 2000 is not enough.

Sounds very cool, but it is also very difficult for us non-native speakers.

I agree.

Minding my own business I was interdicted by another member of the Pilot's Federation. I informed the commander this breach in protocol would not go unreported. He replied: pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew ...

67 ... lost interest.
